Flickr metadata issues (artist, license)
Re.: Zotero and saving Flickr images. Wowza! http://librariansmatter.com/blog/2009/09/15/zotero-and-saving-flickr-images-wowza/
Saving a Flickr picture to my library (2.0b6) I see some issues. I don't know what Zotero can do about them but for sure those data are very nice to have features:
1. There seems to be an issue with the 'artist' field of that saved 'artwork'.
I just checked it with Zotero 2.0b6 and one of my Flickr photos and the artist info was somehow wrong (not my name). I will watch that.
2. No license infos were extracted/saved.
Using a CC licensed picture the media source information should have that info for the specific item.
3. No geo data were saved

2-3 aren't yet grabbed, nor are they in the Flickr API response:

2 can probably be grabbed circuitously. But where would geo data be stored? Under a note or extras seems like the only places. But this information is typically not cited....
